Emmitt Smith: Pacman must make better choices

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Emmitt Smith has some advice for suspended
cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones: Stay out of trouble.
Smith -- the NFL career rushing leader and former star running
back for Dallas was visiting Cowboys rookie minicamp today.
He says -- quote -- "As long as you're not killing anybody,
getting anybody shot at and going to jail, then I don't have any
issues."
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Jones last year for
repeatedly violating the league's personal conduct rules. He's been
arrested six times and has been involved in 12 matters requiring
police intervention.
Smith says -- quote -- "Your personal life is your personal
life. Some of the choices you make are not some of the choices I
would make. As long as you're out here on the practice field
performing like you're supposed to and not getting into any
trouble. I'm not going to tell you what you should be doing."
The Cowboys acquired Jones from the Tennessee Titans last week.
Smith said he thought it was a good trade to bolster the Dallas
secondary.
